Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

I have a private static nested class "Inner" inside of an outer class "Outer". The nested class has a public method "myMethod".

If I want to call that method from another class I get the correct error "The type Outer.Inner is not visible"
Nevertheless the quick fix suggests "change visibility of 'myMethod' to 'public'" which does not help since it is already public. Instead the quick fix should be "change visibility of 'Outer.Inner' to 'public'"

Reproducible: Always

Hi Sebastian,

can you please provide a code example and verify if this still happens in the current eclipse 4.3 or 3.8?

I tried to produce an example, but this gave my different Quick-Fix options.
